"Sneaky Blends and other books:
“Sn "Sneaky Blends” will get you from a base of white beans blended with filtered water to
a replacement for butter and cream in recipe, butter and oil in baked goods
and dinners like those on Tuscany
tables.
You’ll
want some for Missy Chase Lapine’s Crunchy Kale-Crust Pizza, and even the 4
p.m. Protien Cookie. The carrot and sweet potato blend goes into single serve
mac and cheese and and broccoli pea spinach bases will make you want a
Broccoli-Cheddar Mini Fritatta right now. It’s a tempting bite in a corn
tortilla.
So
there’s the word “sneaky” in the title. I’d be proud of figuring out a
lifestyle where you do a little blending and have health and delicious ideas at
your fingertips, but we all live in a world where some people we feed won’t get
that mixed berry-baby kale base blend could work in a brownie. So, you gotta be
sneaky sometimes. Maybe it’s science, but I think it’s a culinary miracle.
Road
Trip?
People
still want to drive Route 66. They should get the new book of memories and post
cards by T. Lindsay Baker, “Portrait of Route 66.” Of all the images of
pristine tourist courts boasting central air and scenic bridges, I gravitated
to the Texas section.
In
1946 people were planning their travel to arrive at The Aristocrat Restaurant
in Amarillo. The image shows tables set along a western panorama mural with
cowboy, mountains and cactus. In the middle are two rows of booths with a
planter division. I can’t tell what they’re eating, but everyone looks well
dressed and relaxed, not like they were driving all day in the heat or cold! If
you’ve done this route, or just want to dream you did, back in the day, sit
back and enjoy this collection.
Eating Disorder grief diaries
Some
of the women sharing their true stories of anorexia nervosa, bulimia and binge
eating mention the late singer Karen Carpenter, who died from anorexia. That
was the first time I’d heard of the eating disorder that seemed so strange:
starving yourself on purpose. Now days young boys and girls can link, via
computers, with others who have these problems both for support to avoid the
behavior or to cover up one’s tracks and hide problems from family and friends.
Women
in “Grief Diaries: Through the Eyes of an Eating Disorder: True Stories About
Living with Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia and Binge Eating” share what instigated
their behaviors, how they compensated, how they were obsessed and in some
cases, how they overcame. Lynda Cheldelin Fell and others share powerful
stories that hopefully help
Eatio others realize what sufferers are feeling and how
intense the struggle can be. I couldn’t put it down. These addictions are real
and dangerous, because we all need to eat to survive. Instead of “case
studies,” we get to hear from these women themselves. darraghcastillo@icloud.com
